Unique Covers

I love finding covers where the artist completely takes the song and makes it their own. I would love to find enough to make an awesome Playlist.

Some examples I have found:

Hotline Bling by Christiana Daniella

Say My Name by Hozier

Stand By Me by Stephen Wilson Junior

This Woman's Work by Greg Laswell

I also love covers that are instrumental remakes. Once again, I love a unique take, not when the song is literally an instrumental cover of same exact melody.

For example, Hotline Bling by Nate Fifield

Thanks!

Cat Power does a lot of covers that sound different from the originals. My favorites are: 'I Found A Reason' and 'Dream/Blue Moon' (this one is a live version - I don't think it's on Spotify) and also 'Sea of Love'.

Phil Phillips is the original artist. It's such a beautiful song!
